Belmont is pleased to announce drilling has re-commenced at the Kibby Basin Lithium Brine project with MGX Minerals Inc. (CSE: XMG) in Nevada. Hole KB-4 has a targeted depth of 300 meters into the lakebed sediments. The hole targets a potential fault as interpreted from the geophysical survey data, which looks deep into the sub-surface layers. Previous drilling has shown consistent lithium in clay mineralization 1200-1700 feet up to 580 ppm Li and moderate lithium mineralization at shallow depths to 300 feet up to 100 ppm Li. Geophysical and geological interpretation has indicated potential geothermal activity may have brought concentrations of dissolved minerals close to the surface. The drill hole KB-4 is in the center of the measured gravity low targeting the center of the anomaly on the interpreted fault.
